Reviews

`An exceptionally well-written text which gives readers a lucid, authoritative, well-researched and theoretically sophisticated guide to the relationship between news media and their "sources" - the people and organisations that seek to appear in and shape the news′ - Professor Peter Golding, Loughborough University `Manning does an excellent job of combining what we know from the existing literature with his own research, and presenting a useful framework for doing analyses of news sources′ - Peter D Dahlgren, The University of Lund
